Apple requires developers publishing apps on the App Store to disclose [certain information](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/) regarding their apps' data use. > [!NOTE] > **Note:** Firebase's [privacy manifests](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files) disclose data that is always collected and collected by default. **It is your responsibility to ensure your privacy nutrition labels are > accurate based on your app's actual usage of Firebase.** For example, if you decide to store APNs tokens in Cloud Firestore, then you might consider disclosing that your app collects identifiers even though the published privacy manifest for Cloud Firestore does not state that Cloud Firestore collects identifiers. This document contains Firebase Apple platform library behaviors that could require disclosure according to Apple's guidelines. When installing Firebase, take note of the build targets installed into your app by your dependency manager of choice. For each target that your dependency manager lists, review the corresponding section of this document to determine what data collection you must disclose. The number of Firebase build targets you have installed may be greater than the number you expected since some Firebase build targets have transient dependencies on others. If you are using any optional product features that involve additional data or participating in any tests of new product features that involve additional data, be sure to check if those features or tests require additional data disclosures. To ensure your app's disclosures are accurate, we recommend that you always use the latest version of each Firebase SDK. ## Firebase user agent The ***Firebase user agent*** is a bundle of information collected from most Firebase SDKs and includes the following: device, OS, app bundle ID, and developer platform. The user agent is never linked to a user or device identifier and is used by the Firebase team to determine platform and version adoption in order to better inform Firebase feature decisions. ## `FirebaseCore` - Does not collect data. ## `GoogleUtilities` - Does not collect data, but includes networking utilities which may be used by other SDKs to collect data. ## `GoogleDataTransport` Includes networking utilities which may be used by other SDKs to collect data. ### Always collected - Collects metadata about SDK performance, such as the size of the client log event cache and the number of client log events dropped for various reasons, to monitor and maintain product quality. ## `FirebaseABTesting` A/B Testing does not collect data. The Firebase A/B Testing SDK sets and uses Google Analytics user properties in order to specify membership in experiment groups for Firebase Remote Config and Firebase In-App Messaging. ## `FirebaseAILogic` *Firebase AI Logic was formerly called "Vertex AI in Firebase" with the library `FirebaseVertexAI`. Also, Firebase AI Logic formerly had the library `FirebaseAI`.* ### Always collected - Collects the Firebase SDK version and the Swift language version. - Collects the model name at invocation. ### Collected by default - If [data collection](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/swift/firebasecore/api/reference/Classes/FirebaseApp.md.txt#isdatacollectiondefaultenabled) is enabled, collects the Firebase Apple app ID and the application version. ### Usage dependent - If [AI monitoring in the Firebase console](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/monitoring.md.txt#ai-monitoring-in-console) is enabled for the Agent Platform Gemini API (formerly Vertex AI), then the prompts and generated output from each sampled request are collected along with performance and usage metrics. ## Google Analytics Google Analytics data collection information can be found in this [support article](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10285841). ## `FirebaseAppCheck` ### Collected by default - If [data collection](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/swift/firebasecore/api/reference/Classes/FirebaseApp.md.txt#isdatacollectiondefaultenabled) is enabled, collects the [Firebase user agent](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/app-store-data-collection.md.txt#firebase-user-agent). ### Usage dependent - If the DeviceCheck provider is installed, collects the `DCDevice` token from [DeviceCheck](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicecheck). - If the App Attest provider is installed, collects both the attestation object and the assertion object from [App Attest](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicecheck/validating_apps_that_connect_to_your_server). - If the reCAPTCHA Enterprise provider is installed, collects the reCAPTCHA token from invoking the reCAPTCHA Enterprise SDK. The reCAPTCHA Enterprise SDK in turn collects data as described in their [Apple privacy details](https://docs.cloud.google.com/recaptcha/docs/apple-privacy-details). ## `FirebaseAppDistribution` The App Distribution SDK is intended for beta testing usage only. Do not include the App Distribution SDK in your application when submitting to the App Store. ## `FirebaseAuthentication` ### Always collected - Generates and stores identifiers for user authentication purposes. ### Collected by default - If [data collection](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/swift/firebasecore/api/reference/Classes/FirebaseApp.md.txt#isdatacollectiondefaultenabled) is enabled, collects the [Firebase user agent](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/app-store-data-collection.md.txt#firebase-user-agent). ### Usage dependent - Collects a display name, if the developer provides a display name for the user. - Collects users' email addresses as provided by the developer when using email password or email link authentication, or as contained in the response from a federated provider if the developer uses a federated identity. - Collects users' phone numbers as provided by the developer when using phone auth or if the user's phone number is added as an authentication method. Also collected during SMS-as-second-factor authentication flows. - Collects contact information related to third-party authentication providers if the developer uses a third-party authentication provider with Firebase Authentication. For example, a user's identifier may be linked to their Facebook profile if the developer uses Facebook authentication, depending on the scopes granted. Refer to the authentication provider's documentation for more information. - Stores the user's Game Center ID if the app is linked to the Game Center. - Collects this token if your app uses [reCAPTCHA Enterprise](https://cloud.google.com/identity-platform/docs/recaptcha-enterprise) to protect Authentication flows. See additional [Apple privacy details for reCAPTCHA Enterprise](https://cloud.google.com/recaptcha-enterprise/docs/apple-privacy-details). ## `FirebaseCrashlytics` ### Always collected - Collects stack traces and relevant application state when an application crashes. - Collects [device and OS information](https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.md.txt#crash-stored-info) to assist with debugging crashes. ### Usage dependent - Collects any custom keys, logs, and free-text user IDs that developers attach to crash reports. Also collects any developer-defined non-fatal events with custom stack traces. - Collects "breadcrumb" logs if Crashlytics is used together with Google Analytics. These logs identify user actions immediately before a crash along with crash counts. - Collects developer-defined portions of the [Remote Config template](https://firebase.google.com/docs/remote-config/templates) and template metadata if the Firebase Remote Config SDK is also included in the app. This data includes Remote Config template version, rollout variant ID, parameter keys, and parameter values affected by active rollouts. ## `FirebaseDatabase` ### Collected by default - If [data collection](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/swift/firebasecore/api/reference/Classes/FirebaseApp.md.txt#isdatacollectiondefaultenabled) is enabled, collects the [Firebase user agent](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/app-store-data-collection.md.txt#firebase-user-agent). ## `FirebaseDataConnect` > [!NOTE] > **Note:** Firebase SQL Connect was formerly known as Firebase Data Connect; the library and the SDK retains the old name. ### Collected by default If [data collection](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/swift/firebasecore/api/reference/Classes/FirebaseApp.md.txt#isdatacollectiondefaultenabled) is enabled: - Collects the [Firebase user agent](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/app-store-data-collection.md.txt#firebase-user-agent). - Collects whether [local code generation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/sql-connect/ios-sdk.md.txt) for SQL Connect is being used by checking whether requests to the SQL Connect service are coming from code generated by the code generator, or, instead, from direct usage of the SQL Connect SDK. - Collects the Firebase App ID of the app (this is not the app's bundle ID). This value is included in the header of each request. ## `FirebaseDynamicLinks` *(Deprecated)* ### Always collected - Temporarily collects device data, including the device's screen dimensions, language, OS version, bundle ID, IP address, and Firebase SDK version for deferred-deep links (deep-link post app install). ### Collected by default - Temporarily collects the dynamic link URL in the device pasteboard, if available, on first app launch. Developers can disable the use of Pasteboard by setting the `FirebaseDeepLinkPasteboardRetrievalEnabled` property to `NO` in the app's `Info.plist` file. ### Usage dependent If Dynamic Links is used together with Google Analytics: - Automatically logs link interaction events via Google Analytics. To disable automatic event logging, remove `FirebaseAnalytics` from the app. ## `FirebaseFirestore` ### Collected by default - If [data collection](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/swift/firebasecore/api/reference/Classes/FirebaseApp.md.txt#isdatacollectiondefaultenabled) is enabled, collects the [Firebase user agent](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/app-store-data-collection.md.txt#firebase-user-agent). ## `FirebaseFunctions` ### Always collected - Collects function invocation metadata, including the function name and IP address of the function caller. ## `FirebaseInAppMessaging` ### Always collected - Records interactions with in-app messages.
